Summertime in Bristol, RI invokes images of 4th of July, sailing, outdoor dining and of course, weddings! Cara and Mark fell in love with Blithewold Mansion for their venue.  They had the most perfect summer day to have a vintage inspired wedding with their big italian families and friends! We love when our clients honor their family members in their styling, sometimes a necklace or earrings.  Cara chose her mother’s veil and it was stunning!  One of the bridesmaids even commented that she looked “so italian”! Guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn overlooking the ocean, croquet was played, and the amazing gardens were explored. After the first dance (Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes played skillfully by The Goodtime Stringband!) we took Cara and Mark to the gardens where we ventured out and beyond, all the way to the bamboo forest. So much love filled the tent that night, you could hear family speaking Italian, Mark’s father had the dance floor going all night long, and the food! Blackstone Catering did an amazing spread topped off by a stunning cake courtesy of Konditor Meister. We loved being a part of this beautiful day. Best. Job. Ever.

We love shooting at Roger Williams Park. There are so many spots to take beautiful photos and it’s right in our backyard.  Liz and Leo had thier first date there so what better place to pick?  When we saw the beautiful blue dress Liz picked out we knew the photos would be great.  Nothing like a little color pop to brighten up engagment photos!  These pictures were taken in the middle of summer.  Weather wise it will very different from the wedding that takes place at the end of fall.  We are so excited for the big day at the Towers in Narragansett!  It’s going to be a good one!!!

From the moment we met Meg and John it was love at first sight, which is exactly what happened when they first laid eyes on each other at a band retreat 13 years ago when they were 13 years old! They weren’t even allowed to date yet! As time went on they became high school sweethearts, graduated college, survived long distance, started careers and landed here at Linden Place, in beautiful Bristol, RI, to FINALLY get married. This is one gorgeous couple, like seriously attractive. The best part is that they have personalities to match. Not only did Meg make her bridesmaids’ necklaces, but she also made her own necklace, her bracelet and all of the bouquets. DIY items were scattered throughout the carriage house including an adorable seating chart, embossed cards for guests to write well wishes on, and a photo timeline of the couple from those early teenage years right up till now. These two are a dream, a real life dream come true, and we wish them so much love and happiness!
